2 Kings 15:1-7
New International Version
Azariah King of Judah(A)
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah[a](B) son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign. 2 He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right(C) in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 4 The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
5 The Lord afflicted(D) the king with leprosy[b] until the day he died, and he lived in a separate house.[c](E) Jotham(F) the king’s son had charge of the palace(G) and governed the people of the land.
6 As for the other events of Azariah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 7 Azariah rested(H) with his ancestors and was buried near them in the City of David. And Jotham(I) his son succeeded him as king.

Azariah rules Judah
15 Azariah, Amaziah’s son, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of Israel’s King Jeroboam. 2 He was 16 years old when he became king, and he ruled for fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 3 He did what was right in the Lord’s eyes, just as his father Amaziah had done. 4 However, the shrines weren’t removed. People kept sacrificing and burning incense at them. 5 Now the Lord afflicted the king with a skin disease that he had until his dying day, so he lived in a separate house.[a] The king’s son Jotham supervised the palace administration and governed the people of the land. 6 The rest of Azariah’s deeds and all he accomplished, aren’t they written in the official records of Judah’s kings? 7 Azariah died and was buried with his ancestors in David’s City. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.
